My nephew, the media superstar

I'm proud to say that my four year old nephew made his broadcasting debut last week, on BBC local radio. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it myself, but reports of his highly entertaining contribution go something like this:

REPORTER: So what have you got on your feet?
ETHAN: Wellies
REPORTER: And what have you got on your wellies?
ETHAN: Batman
REPORTER: What have you been doing today?
ETHAN: I've been planting seeds
REPORTER: How do you do that then?
ETHAN: You put them in a pot and cover them with soil.
REPORTER: And then what happens?
ETHAN: They grow
REPORTER: What do you do with them when they've grown?
ETHAN: You can eat them – but you have to wash them first.

Quite obviously a future science presenter in the making. Apologies if it's not a precise transcript, please forgive this proud Auntie some artistic licence.
